Through you, Mr. Chair, if we had a chemical factory built in your area, the E2 regulations and the rest of the federal regulations would demand that the plant not only be safe to operate but have mitigation plans, should there be a leak within that plant. It's not fair, because you now have that risk that travels at speed through different areas, and I will also concede to Mr. Masterson that it's incredibly difficult to have a response that can follow that risk.
However, you are quite correct. In a lot of the areas these trucks are going through, the first responders will not be equipped. They won't be trained, and it's very difficult. We're seeing recruitment of volunteer firefighters become harder and harder because of the changes in people's lives and the way they work. We're also seeing that, in some provinces, you have to be licensed as a firefighter the same way that a full-time firefighter is, so the costs are not going down, and the level of technical response needed for an incident like this would be extreme.
